Alaves have announced the signing of Manchester City youngster Manu Garcia on a season-long loan.
The 18-year-old joined City from Sporting Gijon in 2013, but has made just one Premier League appearance, coming on as a substitute in the 4-0 win over Aston Villa in March.
“More quality for the midfield. Alaves bring in Manu Garcia, a young and promising footballer from Manchester City,” Alaves confirmed via their official website.
“Manu joins for one season and with a lot of eagerness to show his football in LaLiga.
“The player will sign with Alaves B, but will be brought into the first team.”
City Tweeted: “Manu Garcia has joined LaLiga side Alaves on a season long loan… Good luck Manu!”
Alaves, who won promotion back to Spain’s top flight last season by winning LaLiga2, begin their campaign away to Atletico Madrid on Sunday.
